I’ve seen people use a screw driver as a pry bar, chisel, or a punch, all of which it was never intended to be used for and they fail. If you are using your knife in a way that puts pressure on the spine in such a way that the lock fails it isn’t the knifes fault it’s the users fault. Just because some knives took the abuse and got away with it doesn’t mean the ones that didn’t were faulty or defective. This really grates on me because I use tools for a profession and I’ve seen some very poor usage and then the person abusing the tool blames it on the tool design when it fails. There is a proper way to use it and I’m certain Buck put the marksman though testing and they wouldn’t release a knife that would be a faulty design. I’m still shaking my head as to why you think this spine whacking test is relevant to the intended use.
